Big Brother Naija has had an eventual 11-week season and was rocked by a number of controversies.
After a 10 year hiatus, the show was repackaged to give more Nigerian youth the opportunity to showcase their talent to the world, a statement from Multichoice said.
The year’s edition was hosted by former Big Brother Nigeria housemate, Ebuka Obi-Uchendu.
There were other wins for the night. TBoss won the least time in all Payporte games, while Bisola carted away the prize for having the best ONE campaign presentation for the education of the girl-child.
TBoss was presented with a N500,000 cheque and Bisola will join the ONE Campaign team in New York City for the girl-child education at the United Nations.
The grand finale was quite exciting as the live audience and viewers were treated to music from two of Nigeria’s biggest music stars: 2Baba and Tiwa Savage.
